Re: [slim] URLs for AAC Plus Streams
The SomaFM AAC streams are available through the SomaFM app. Goto into the My Apps/SomaFM menu and then scroll down to the bottom of the list of stations.

There are sound quality/encosing option within AAC+ which are used depending on bit rate. In practive, this means above a specific bit rate usually the AAC+ options are not used and the stream is just AAC. Looks like I should have been clearer in my wording. I know that AAC+ is not based on WMA or MP3. by non AAC+ I was trying to differentiate between something that can play AAC but not aacPlus. aacPlus was designed to be forward compatible - so that something that is able to play AAC would be able to play aacPlus but without access to the + bits (by discarding the ancilliary data area that holds SBR and PS information). i.e. it would play at a lower quality (although the Via Licensing pages seem to have ignored that) Manufacturers that bought AAC license prior to aacPlus existance have to buy a new license to allow them to get the richer content. http://www.vialicensing.com/licensing/AAC_FAQ.cfm?faq=7#7 -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78798 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Moving SB US to Continental Europe
Hi, I will be moving out of the US back to Continental Europe in a few months, so I am trying to make sure that my electronics will continue working. I have an (US) SB3: do I just need to get a plug converter for the power supply or do I need a new power supply that will work with 240V? If the latter, where can I get one? I presume that the hardware is built in a way that will not be AC frequency dependent?

Or rather - the Buffalo kind of installed itself - didn't use installation CD or anything. Plugged my freebie Thomson SpeedTouch modem in, connected the router, and about 3 minutes later I was back online. Not even PPPoE login information required - spooky!

Ambient temperature here in Portugal is around 25 degrees at the moment - the modem is warm but not the router.

Re: [slim] Logitech Google TV
Well this will incorporate the squeezebox space. It won't replace a squeezebox, it will just be another way to get the squeezebox features. Just look at it as another model in the squeezebox line. Think of this new device as similar to a squeezebox duet receiver, in other words, a squeezebox without a screen. Since this new device is intended to meld with a TV as a TV set top box, the screen will be the TV itself. On the TV screen you will see all your familiar squeezebox features, from Pandora to Rhapsody to Shoutcast, etc. Just think of the TV as a big screen to view your music choices. On the TV screen you can pick what you want to listen to. The audio will be pumped out of both analog and digital audio outs on the back of the Logitech TV Box just like on the back of any squeezebox product now existing today. Nothing new here. The only difference is that instead of a screen on the device or on a separate controller, the screen will be the TV. Now, you may ask, how do I control this? Simple: You'll have three basic choices - you can buy a Logitech Harmony remote, of which there are several models to pick from, and thus use this remote to navigate around the TV screen to make your choices. Or, you can use the included mini remote controller if you don't want to splurge for a separate optional Harmony remote. The included mini remote will be similar to the small remote you get with a squeezebox boom today. It does the trick for getting what you want without the luxury. Finally, you can use your android phone as your controller. There will be a free app which Logitech will have available on launch date for the Logitch TV Box which you can download to your android phone and just use the touchscreen of your android phone to control your choices of music. Oh, you want the launch date? Ok, here it is: September 22, 2010 if all goes according to current plans. This will give enough time for the ecosystem of hardware and software to flow as one and also to get the android 2.2 operating system into the hands of developers and have a lot of apps available on launch date. (At the moment, everyone is using android version 2.1) What apps you may ask? Well, we are talking about say Rhapsody porting over to the Logitech TV Box their excellent android app now available for android phones. So basically you can see the app on your TV screen instead of on your phone. Now, you may ask, I like the like the idea of using my android phone to control the Logitech TV box but I want to put it somewhere connected to my great stereo setup but not to a TV. Can I do this? Of course. The android app that will be available for your phone will control the Logitech TV Box even when it is not connected to a TV, but just connected to an amp or stereo receiver or powered speakers. -- mortslim mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

i currently have amy sb2 sitting on top of my mac mini which is right next to my flatscreen and i run boxee for all of my tv/internet tv needs. boxee of course is a very small player in the game compared to logitech/google and currently boxee is just software and not a dedicated box like roku. having said all of that though, i'm quite happy keeping my music experience completely separate from my tv experience. in fact, i think it'd be a pain in the butt to always have to turn on the tv to interact with my squeeze products. i think the partnership of google and logitech is great for furthering this technology but i'm going to stick with my boxee for awhile until this technology gets a little more grownup. -- exile exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Logitech Google TV
mortslim;549359 Wrote: Well this will incorporate the squeezebox space. It won't replace a squeezebox, it will just be another way to get the squeezebox features. Just look at it as another model in the squeezebox line. Think of this new device as similar to a squeezebox duet receiver, in other words, a squeezebox without a screen. Since this new device is intended to meld with a TV as a TV set top box, the screen will be the TV itself. On the TV screen you will see all your familiar squeezebox features, from Pandora to Rhapsody to Shoutcast, etc. Just think of the TV as a big screen to view your music choices. On the TV screen you can pick what you want to listen to. The audio will be pumped out of both analog and digital audio outs on the back of the Logitech TV Box just like on the back of any squeezebox product now existing today. Nothing new here. The only difference is that instead of a screen on the device or on a separate controller, the screen will be the TV. Now, you may ask, how do I control this? Simple: You'll have three basic choices - you can buy a Logitech Harmony remote, of which there are several models to pick from, and thus use this remote to navigate around the TV screen to make your choices. Or, you can use the included mini remote controller if you don't want to splurge for a separate optional Harmony remote. The included mini remote will be similar to the small remote you get with a squeezebox boom today. It does the trick for getting what you want without the luxury. Finally, you can use your android phone as your controller. There will be a free app which Logitech will have available on launch date for the Logitch TV Box which you can download to your android phone and just use the touchscreen of your android phone to control your choices of music. Oh, you want the launch date? Ok, here it is: September 22, 2010 if all goes according to current plans. This will give enough time for the ecosystem of hardware and software to flow as one and also to get the android 2.2 operating system into the hands of developers and have a lot of apps available on launch date. (At the moment, everyone is using android version 2.1) What apps you may ask? Well, we are talking about say Rhapsody porting over to the Logitech TV Box their excellent android app now available for android phones. So basically you can see the app on your TV screen instead of on your phone. Now, you may ask, I like the like the idea of using my android phone to control the Logitech TV box but I want to put it somewhere connected to my great stereo setup but not to a TV. Can I do this? Of course. The android app that will be available for your phone will control the Logitech TV Box even when it is not connected to a TV, but just connected to an amp or stereo receiver or powered speakers.

Re: [slim] Logitech Google TV
The big question is whether the entire existing squeezebox code in the squeezeboxes and in the software for the server you install on your computer will all be rewritten in source code applicable to android. Because Logitech is now betting the farm on Google TV because of the potential market being vastly bigger than that for the audio only kind of market, everything may be rewritten for the android ecosystem. Part of the announcements today include cloud based sync of music to leapfrog the capabilities of itunes and Logitech will be incorporating this feature into their TV box and their squeezeboxes as well. Logitech is going to focus on Google sync of music rather than the mp3tunes app currently available to squeezebox owners. That being the case, the source code for this also will need compatibility with android. -- mortslim mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Logitech Google TV
I think the following uses and conflicts with Squeezebox springs to mind: - Obviously having an app on Google TV that controls\displays whatever SB is playing would be great. Imagine your squeeze playing in the lounge with playlist details, detailed song info displayed on the TV. Of course you can get there now, but getting their easily would be good. - Surely Logitech Google TV + squeezeplay is also worth thinking of. You'd be able to use HDMI so it should be digital all the way to your DAC\AV receiver of choice. - If the Logitech Google TV box is cheap enough I would say the touch has a serious competitor (probably not in audiophile territory though). Most consumers would say why buy a touch if the google tv box can do audio and tv and more? - Google TV looks to have all features of Boxee (i.e. social/internet features built in) but it also will interact with your cable\ satellite, and of course have a whole plethora of apps. I'd be very worried if I were Boxee. - I think for me a lot would hinge on how the Google TV handles locally stored music and video files. Would it have the IMDB type integration on local movies? Would it have nice playist\squeeze\itunes like features on the music player for local music. Anybody know if they will release the Google TV for instalation on your own device. I'd love to try it out on my little home theatre ASRock to see how it works. I see that it is Android OS based. -- lrossouw Louis 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

mortslim;549401 Wrote: Logitech is now betting the farm on Google TV because of the potential market being vastly bigger than that for the audio only kind of market, everything may be rewritten for the android ecosystem. That's not obvious to me at all. It's a new market for Logitech, and they'll stay in as long as it's profitable. They'll keep making Squeezeboxes as long as they make money off Squeezeboxes (and think they wouldn't make more money diverting staff/resources to Android/Google TV). I looked at some of the Google TV info -- Google's PR, Logitech's, Google's developer info. I'm not impressed. Windows Media Center and Linux/MythTV have offered the core Google TV features for years. The Google developer info is sloppy. It looks like a dull category, and the free licensing model of Android means it's likely to be a commodity market (unlike the Squeezebox market where Logitech has been able to see the same gear/design for *years* without lowering the prices). I can easily see Google TV flopping just as Apple TV has seemed to. And I can easily see Logitech (and more easily see Sony, whose commitment to other companies' platforms has always been very tentative) pulling out if this turns out not to be a big money maker. But maybe this will be good for Squeezebox. Maybe Logitech will surprise us. Maybe they'll use an Android NDK to add Squeezebox client capabilities to their Google TV devices to differentiate them from other vendors' Google TV boxes, much as Motorola and HTC have added software to their Android phones in hopes of avoiding an Android commodity ghetto. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
